Boggy Draw Road

Boggy Draw Road sits on the plateau just north of Dolores, Colorado, within the San Juan National Forest, winding through scattered ponderosa pine, oak brush, open meadows, and quiet stretches of high-country forest. The road serves as the backbone of a larger multi-use trail system shaped by generations of ranching and recreation, offering an easygoing way to explore a lesser-known side of southwest Colorado. Rather than big ledges or dramatic mountain passes, Boggy Draw delivers a relaxing mix of forest scenery, wildlife habitat, camping access, and year-round recreation opportunities. Elk, mule deer, and wild turkeys are commonly seen in the area, making this a quiet, accessible escape with plenty of reasons to slow down and take in the surroundings.
